Greeting Card Eurasian Goshawk

The Eurasian Goshawk is a powerful hawk with short broad wings, and extremely strong flight muscles, which is ideal for accelerating very fast in order to overpower its prey with a quick sprint. In addition to its short wings, the long tail of the Northern Goshawk is ideally suited for fast turns between trees and other vegetation as it pursues its prey. Eurasian Goshawks have a broad distribution range stretching from the islands of the Mediterranean to northern Scandinavia, and are only absent from Iceland and Ireland.
